about

ZeCoop: Sometimes the first song you send is the perfect match for a potential collaborator and sometimes... it's number three. ;) I am so happy that Mary pushed me a little to get to the right song for her! For me, this year has really moved me forward in the picked acoustic guitar realm, and I once again used felt picks here (in lieu of finger picking, which I can't do). This was very obviously from the start, going to be a simple arrangement and Mary added such a beautiful melody and story to it, that I can't imagine anything else going with it. It is rare for me to not have a bunch of instruments, even if it is just shakers and cajon, but this needed nothing but the two guitars and her vocals. It is so lovely and I love writing music with Mary! :)

EmKayDeeBee: Ah, such kind words John! I love to think that I pushed you for once, you're always such a support and bring the best out in my efforts, it's nice to return the favour. The melody just flowed with this one, and lyrically I enjoyed playing with the language of the BBC Shipping Forecast. (You can never write just a straight love song when working with John, he's seen it all before!) Thanks for persevering with me!

lyrics

As I look back I can see
All the signs were there for me
Felt it change so rapidly
On that steady South-Westerly

Saw it move from Gale to Storm
Watched it change from Good to Poor
…. Now falling…

Keep on moving steadily
Veering on away from me

Can we change from Storm to Gale?
We used to be phenomenal…
Sooner or Later all things pale
Can’t we still set sail?
… Still falling…

Backing on to a smoother shore
Ignoring all that’s gone before
Slowly move away from the Poor
Can we avoid the storm
… Now rising…?

Whether rough or smooth the sea
Let’s just take this steadily

ZeCoop Kalamazoo, Michigan

I love playing music and keep learning new instruments. My songs are in a wide range of styles, from indie-rock to surf, to folk to rock to electronic... I never know. I record at home in a studio I put together in a spare room. I work (via the web) with a lot of vocal/lyric collaborators from all over the world.
